Typically some individuals and clubs may plan a trip to GA in March to procure bee packages.  When we hear of that we try to assemble group orders. Details will change every year and typically arrangements are discussed in advance via Facebook. 


Splits and Swarms
Depending on the weather, local beekeepers often split their colonies typically in June and also swarms can be caught at this time.  Locally, this is usually discussed at meetings. If someone may have a split or nuc that may be in excess to their requirements, it may be available for local sale.  


Queen Producers
Some local suppliers may produce local queens as a sideline to their other lines of business.  Other WV Queen producers can be found at the Mountain State Queen Producers web site,  www.mountainstatequeens.com

Please Note:  Some of the larger commercial beekeepers send their bees to CA for almond pollination.  When they return, their colonies can be split to create nucleus colonies to sell locally.  These are generally available in March.  Local nucs are typically available in April or May.
